Starting with a trip through the Whitney in NYC I was inspired by a piece seen there. The technique of raw, and stained clay contracted with glaze is an area i have been interested in for some time, this seems the most successful. The shapes morphed into round accentuated carve outs that leant a new and unique look which I have dubbed belly pots.
These are a collection of items most of which could be used to hold flowers. They all can stand on their own without a floral addition as well.
Individually thrown and glazed; results will vary.
These bowls are meant for serving, mixing or display of food.
This Homage to an unknown fellow potter was made as part of a show at Northern Clay Center. While in NYC recently i went to an exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art called “Hear Me Now”. It is good to see that there is a larger interest in the potters before the Civil War who were enslaved most notably, Dave.
The smaller platters here are a further step into surface exploration for me. , One especially large platter soda fired is a nod to a mother who also had an interest in ceramic making.
A step away from the functional. These are personal reflections and interpertations
